Sophie Cunningham blasts WNBA fans for throwing sex toys on court
Sophie Cunningham is furious at the antics of some WNBA fans.
During Friday’s game between the Valkyries and Sky, what appeared to be a lime-green dildo was thrown onto the court during the third quarter.
“Stop throwing dildos on the court,” Cunningham posted on X. “You’re going to hurt one of us.”
A referee kicked away the NSFW object from the court so that the game could continue.
Sky star Angel Reese also took to social media to comment on the phenomenon, but took the situation more lightly, poking fun at Fever guard Sydney Colson.
“Hey @SydJColson, why do you keep throwing your mean green in different arenas,” Reese joked. “It’s getting weird.”
This comes after a similar incident occurred just three days prior when an object was thrown on the court at the end of the fourth quarter of Tuesday’s game between the Dream and the Valkyries.
With less than a minute to play and the game tied 75-75, the sex toy fell from above and bounced on the free throw line before flying across the court.
The broadcast booth was able to contain their emotions for the most part, but let out some laughs in the heat of the moment.
“Something flies on the court, I think there was something that flew from a fan on the court,” play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey said as the Valkyries had the ball.
“This has been one of a kind… can they figure out who did that and get ’em out?” Tobey asked.
“Even so, when you have a lime green item just kind of fly… that’s when the whistle should be blown because as a player you want to feel protected, you want to know what’s going on, and then there’s confusion on the at final possession,” fellow announcer Morgan Ragan said.
A police officer then carried the object off the court in a towel as fans were unhappy with the delay in game.
